Wow, I really enjoyed this tasty salad Syd. I love sweet and sour flavors and this was perfect for me. I used balsamic raspberry vinegar and dried blueberries, raspberries, cherries, cantaloupe and candied aloe vera. This was wonderful with the shredded carrotes and spices. It made for a very tasty lunch. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again.

This salad tastes very fresh and yummy with a lovely balance of sweet and tart. I loved the dried fruits in this (used a mix of raisins, sultanas and cranberries). I reduced the oil a tad, but other than that stuck to your recipe and enjoyed it a lot for a light lunch.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing yet another wonderful recipe with us, Syd!<br/>Made and reviewed for one of my PAC babies Autumn 2011.

I'm not used with carrot salad and oil. but this one is great. The flavors blend perfectly overnight. It was better tasting the next day. I didn't use lemon pepper because of my son. Thanks Sydney Mike :) Made for Holiday tag game

Hubby and kids did not care for it. Said it was too sour. I added maple syrup to my son's and he ate it. Perhaps some brown sugar add initially would have made them happier.
